Which LTHs did you decide on?

I went Corsa and they fit great. Obnoxiously loud. Paired with the full Corsa Xtreme system they are crazy. I actually regretted it as the Coyote is so raspy and only more so with these, windows up at all times. For some odd reason though after it was supercharged it sounds better and now I'm happy, still windows up though. Also a 2017. Also installed on my back. Really sucked. Give a preemptive "sorry" to the neighbors soon!

Corsa is top tier stuff.

If you happen to get a set that fits properly and doesn't rust out after a year, go for it. I'd rather buy a quality set but to each their own.

How many sets have you purchased that had fitment issues or developed rust?
I have installed a few sets now and zero problems. The only difference is how they weld them. They do something called cold welding which is not as strong but does not make a difference in this case. So unless someone just wants a name brand there no advantage

Not exactly sure, have/had a few messages out with pricing/availability. SP are half the price of arch/lth and others and more.

Looking at

ARH
LTH
Stainless Power

A few others, but they’re out of stock everywhere, three above see to be available and ready to ship


I wish I could just find a set of these borla ones I mentioned above, as they would bolt right up, and the catback came with offroad pipes for LT’s so most kits come with catted ones, so I’ll have a extra set

Which brings me to another question, I just installed a 3” Borla S, will the high flo/short cat vs off-road pipes be much more noticeable?

Are the catted versions much louder then without?
Damnit...another Q...lol.. so is the catted lt’s much louder then oem manifold/cats?

 

[NGOT8R]

I have high flow cats and they are loud. Now that I have a straight through axle back, they are even louder.

When I had my 14' there were a lot of people having issues with O2 sensors going out while running E85 on a regular basis. I had bought some Kooks (back when they were'nt outrageously priced) & found out they were the only ones not having this issue due to the O2 sensor fitting being welded at an anlge. Do all the brands do this now, or is it still just Kooks brand that welds the bungs at an angle?

If you can point me to someone who has Stainless Power in stock I’d appreciate it. I’ve been waiting over 6 weeks for a set to ship from one of our large forum vendors.

I thought I read that was for E85?

Dorsnt stainless power have their bungs welded at a angle?

None because I'm not taking a risk on cheap quality stuff. I'm glad it worked out for you.

Proper fitment is very important with LTHs. It can be a whole mess of trouble when they don’t fit right. people shouldn’t have to massage or dimple pipes for clearance.

Pay $50k+ for a car………bargain shop to save $500 on headers

if you’re going to do something, do it right. There isn’t enough of a savings to go cheap when the labor to fix a potential problem is so intense.
